OpenTTD is a good time if you like those types of management games. The graphics are old, but it’s still fun.

[-] carrmcg@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

If you find yourself enjoying openTTD, I’d highly recommend trying the JGR patch pack. Link It adds loads of improvements that the steam version doesn’t have. I started on the steam version, loved it, and love the JGR version even more.

[-] mihnt@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I caught a stream of TheSpiffingBrit playing it the other day and I downloaded it because of that. It's neat, but it does take some learning.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

My favourite OpenTTD gameplay video is the Valefisk video where he invites his Patreon supporters to play a game with him and his friends and then ruins their day by basically starting the server early so that his corp already has more money than the other players.

Master Hellish has a tutorial series on YouTube that's very good.

[-] rem26_art@kbin.social 53 points 1 year ago

I'd throw in a vote for HoloCure. It's like Vampire Survivors, and even if you know nothing about Hololive, its pretty addicting.

[-] takenaps@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Will check it out, just stumbled into vampire survivors that game is awesome

[-] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I played a bit of it and what I got was completely different to what I saw kronii playing. She had what looked like a fishing and farming Sim while I had reverse bullet hell. Runs great on the steam deck though.

[-] pokemaster787@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

"Holo House" is the farming and fishing minigame. I believe you unlock it once you beat stage 1, it shows up in the main menu as "???" until unlocked.

The Looker was a funny parody of The Witness. Made me laugh.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Apparently the creator of The Witness didn't like it because he's allegedly a pretentious twat.

[-] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

Doesn't surprise me that he didn't like it. It lampshades how the themes of the original game are not actually as profound as he says they are, while also being way more fun than the majority of the original

[-] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I just love the review of it that states, "if you like The Witness, you'll like The Looker, but if you hated The Witness, you'll love The Looker."

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The ending had me rolling. I didn't realize what was going on until just right before the reveal. Great game to check out because you can beat it in a couple hours

[-] evilgiraffe666@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago

Do you have to have played the witness to get the jokes, or does it stand alone?

[-] addie@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

It would still be a fun little puzzler, but it's very much a single-note satire, and a lot of it would come off as "lol random" rather than taking the piss out of The Witness. Which is also brilliant, love them both.

[-] RudeGryphon@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I've never played it. So I'd say no. I still thought it was great.

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget about Frog Fractions! It’s a great experience.

[-] citrusface@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Frog Fractions

A fuckin journey that game is

[-] flathead@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

thanks - to save other cheapskates' time - these are supported on Linux: Handshakes, OpenTTD, Cave Crawler

[-] RegularJoeJoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Much appreciated!

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

OpenTTD is just fucken.. -chef’s kiss-

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

I loved Alien Swarm, although it's like just one episode from a big game. It's disheartening it's still like that. This game has a potential, especially for coop gaming. Just no content to flesh it out.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

I remember playing the shit out of Alien Swarm back when it came out over a decade ago. It showed a ton of promise. It's a shame they haven't really fleshed it out since then.

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Alien Shooter and Zombie Shooter series are direct inspirations to this Valve's experiment. Idk if they are good on your platform or if they are meant to play together with others, but I liked some of these older entries playing solo. Maybe you'd like them too.
